2108880671

The same thing happened to us.  Rep with the name of Jack Williams with an obvious Eastern accent called and tried to convince dh to do run through it with him.  Dh is not computer savvy and left the callback # 210-888-0671 with me.  I ran the number through Google and got this.  Another scam....so sorry some were taken in.  I like to think I would never have let them access my computer remotely, but luckily dh took the call and I had the time to research the number first.

My mom got this call, and let them get in through team viewer but I called her before she gave them her credit card and told her to not deal with them anymore. This sounds like such a scam but I was certain it was a scam after reading this whole blog. Does anyone know what will happen to my moms computer now that they were in at one point? Can they still get in now? Should she take it into the tech geeks at best buy now or something?

Call selling computer scanning Microsoft software.
Pointed out I have a vtrojan virus and have been hacked by kernel power.

They go ME, the [***]!!!!!!!!!!

they are not the fake people,they make my computer workimg swiftly,i think the canada people use some brain

They called me too.  The guy was trying to explain to me that there was a virus eating my Internet Explorer, and would soon stop working.  When I told him that I wasn't really sure if that is the way that viruses work, he told me that viruses work by eating your programs.  I googled them, found this site along with a number of others regarding the same scam.  I informed him of my findings, and he was still trying to get a sale.  I have to give him credit for trying.

I almost wish some Russian kid *would* write a worm that "eats" MSIE. Historically, Interject Exploiter has been the vehicle for delivering and harboring so many internet-borne ailments it would not make sense for the scammers to encourage its destruction. The more typical behavior for malicious code is to quietly attach itself someplace in a system and behave like a parasite. Wrecking your installed programs is certainly possible but counterproductive. Obviously this caller is hoping his victims are even dumber than him about how software works, which apparently leaves very little wiggle room on the way down to zero knowledge.

They got me...also charged extra on my credit card and had to cancel it.  Said they worked with Microsoft and it was serious problem!

I had a client call me with this same issue -Wow they are getting bold to say the least - she was smart and hung up and called me - I shall be there tomorrow to dis-infect her computer. Microsoft would never ever call you - unless you call them first - GREAT page thanks for helping me work this out - Cheers and
Be careful out there :-)

Yup
Same deal happened to us. Disgusting
My husband fell for it. They charged our card $156.78 Cdn on April 25.
I called many time and they told me the amount was being refunded tomorrow and they would call me back. Today the telephone number is out of service.

You've written an almost exact account of what happened to me today.  I can understand how technologically ignorant computer users can believe the B.S. and be scared into giving computer access and paying.  I'll bet the credit card companies aren't able to retrieve any of the funds they reimburse to their customers.

i cannot even understand his English... if u just said "Sorry you stop stealing my Phone number and also i am not using Microsoft." they will stop talking !! and just hangup!!

i got the same call twice this week for 210-888-0671 .. unfortunately, allowed access but fortunately I did not give out any of my credit card info .. am now in the process of rebuilding my system an doing a fresh install of my operating system, since i was so dumb in the first place to allow them access to my computer ... sheeeesh, and to think i didn't catch on right away when the fellow had a thick indian accent and said he was from texas !!!

Hi, I got a call from people but they were very good guys. They resolve my problem of my computer. It's running fine. Now my computer don't have any problem.

Thanks to Hawtechlive.

Hi, I got a call from Hawkstechlive they told that they are the technical department for the Windows. They got access of my computer and resolved my problem.

Thanks to them.

Just got the same phone call, as I was not home my son allowed them access to computer. I told my husband to get their phone number call Microsoft and the Future Shop (place of purchase) to investigate. Call back number for San Antonio Texas.
Have they done anything to our computers.

this pakistan guy phoned me july 13th and he stated that he was a tech support guy from microsoft. he told me i had major threats in my computer and that 3 people have already hacked my computer. then he told me if i wanted too get rid of the viruses i should download the program on teamviewer.com so i did. all of a sudden he started too control the mouse and i got very nervous. we didn't know what to do so we just phoned future shop and told them what happened. they told us too shut our internet down and he would lose access to our computer so we did and everything was fine after that. MESSAGE FROM ME: if you get phoned by this number dont do anything this guy says and just hang up right away !!

Today is July 13 and through my computer ignorance I got burned for $160.I feel so embasrassed and angry thast I let this happen. Now I wonder if he can hack me.That is how he scared me by saying someone was copying something and I could get busted for it.I felt something was wrong and asked my son but he is as computer ignorant as me.They could pull this on millions of unsuspecting users.To top it off I felt bad that I could not understand him but now I realize that  is part of the scam.Maybe they are sockin it to the Infidels! Dude said his name was Peter Marshall.
